Key Benefits
LAN Security
3Com®Fast Ethernet Secure NICs help
protect LANs with standards based
IPSec encryption and authentication
offloads.*
Upgradeable Features
These high-performance network
connections can be easily upgraded
with new features and technologies to
meet changing business needs.
Advanced Desktop Performance
Intelligent NIC processing offloads*
and powerful traffic-control features
reduce the burden imposed on the
host CPU and accelerate system
performance.
Comprehensive Monitoring and
Management
Standards-compliant remote control
and management—including DMI,
PXE, and remote wake up—reduce
administration time and costs.
Easy Installation
3Com Connection Assistant’s easy-touse interface provides self- and
assisted-service functions for end
users and support technicians.

Performance
Today’s sophisticated networks have
evolved well beyond simple file and
print sharing. Likewise, enterprise
systems are being asked to handle
more sophisticated business applications and heavier processing loads.
That’s the reasoning behind our 3Com
Fast Ethernet Secure Copper and
Fiber NICs. Faced with an Internet
filled with viruses and worms, companies appreciate how LAN security
contributes to network performance
and availability. Unfortunately, many
have already learned the hard way
that an unprotected network is
vulnerable to hostile attacks, the
kind that can bring day-to-day
operations to a screeching halt and
cost thousands of dollars (or more)
in lost productivity.
These advanced-platform NICs let IT
administrators implement end-to-end
LAN security without sacrificing
system performance for end users.
High-performance features, such as
processing offloads* and fiber-optic
compatibility, help systems run faster.

The standards-compliant remote
management, inventory, and troubleshooting features help reduce
administration time and network
total cost of ownership (TCO). In
short, installing 3Com secure NICs
can make the whole LAN faster, more
secure, highly available, and easier to
manage—which is exactly the kind of
innovation you would expect from
the company that pioneered smart
network connections.
End-to-End LAN Security
Copper- and fiber-cabled corporate
LANs are protected with the packetlevel security of IPSec. The fiber NIC
is additionally resistant to electrical
interference and packet snooping.
The embedded processor offloads and
processes encryption and authentication* tasks, for hardware-based
information security. These secure
connections work with our other
end-to-end LAN security products
that include secure switches, perimeter firewalls, and firewall cards for
notebooks, servers, and desktops.
Better Performance Today and Beyond
Optimized for Windows 2003 Server,
2000, and XP operating systems, the
security processor significantly accelerates system and application
response. This custom-designed
embedded processor offloads cycleintensive TCP/IP, IPSec, and
authentication processing*. The autonegotiating NICs automatically match
the throughput of upstream switch or
hub ports.
Easy Installation
The 3Com Connection Assistant gives
end users and support staff one easyto-use tool for management,
troubleshooting, and repair. Its automated interface provides options for
either self or assisted service, helping
users get and stay connected.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
3Com Fast Ethernet Secure Copper
and Fiber NICs are backed by a
Limited Lifetime warranty.
